• Uses computer-assisted engineering and design software and equipment to prepare engineering and design documents (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.).
• Modifies reports, specifications, plans, construction schedules, environmental impact studies and designs for project.
• Makes calculations using engineering formulas and skills for design such as lighting calculations, power distribution calculations, equipment sizing, etc.
• Creates specialized drawings such as electrical riser diagrams.
• Selects equipment based on recommendations of Project Designer/Engineer and fills out equipment schedules.
• Provides drawing for own designs and produces sketches to incorporate in drawings by drafters.
• Researches design options and document findings for Project Designer/Engineer.
• Keeps Project Manager informed of work load and any changes in project scope or additional services. Provides information to Project Manager for incorporation into specifications.
• Researches code issues and ask general questions of code officials.
• Organizes and maintains project files. Maintains a neat and organized work area which allows efficient access to information required by other team members.
• Assures that drawings and designs are in accordance with company production and design standards.
• Special projects as assigned.

REQUIRED EDUCATION/QUALIFICATIONS /WORK EXPERIENCE
